When they are with their littermates and any adults, during play when they bite to hard, the one getting bite will scream at the biter… and adults will strongly correct... this is when they learn "soft" bite... so sounds like your Rocco did not get this... This happens if removed from the adults and/or other littermates too early... So as stated, all play stops... also, I suggest that if the bite is too hard, scream/yell very loud and then stop all play

Welcome, Angie and Rebel. How old is Rebel?

And where\who did you get him from?

From Richard Hanna of Calimesa,Ca. Rebel is 27 months old. And he starting to mature so nicely. He is our first Basenji.

@angie - Hi Angie, who is his sire and dam? Have not heard of a breeder in California by that name.

http://www.pedigrees.zandebasenjis.com/affixes.htmlIt is probably a good idea if you do an ofa search for what tests were run on your dog. Getting a new fanconi test is always worth it as you cannot be sure, sadly, if the breeder submitted swabs from the real animals.
@tanza
We've been here before. The breeder did Fanconi nothing else on previous litter. The person with the pup from him, however, did all testing and seemingly bred her only once.

@angie Welcome Angie! I'm still on cloud 9 with our new "B", it's so exciting, isn't it? Do you have a pic of Rebel to share? I just know I'll "oooo" and "awwww"!

Agreeing ... we'll celebrate and enjoy Rebel, nevermind the breeder. Once here, Rebel is family.
